Mrs. Gubbay was married to a cousin of Philip Sassoon and was herself an immensely distinguished collector of porcelain and English furniture. When she died in 1967, her collection was left to The National Trust, by whom it is displayed at Clandon Park, Surrey. Mrs. Gubbay often acted as Philip Sassoon's hostess at Trent Park and Port Lympne after his sister Sybil's marriage to the Marquess of Cholmondeley prevented her from doing so.
Mrs Gubbay was also a relation by marriage of Solomon Gubbay (see provenance to lot 51)
